Summary
Kentucky Medicaid has issued a new policy on neurostimulators (also called electrical stimulators, nerve field stimulators, or peripheral nerve stimulators) for treating conditions including essential tremor, nausea/vomiting, pain, and withdrawal symptoms. The policy appears to establish coverage guidelines, but the full policy content is incomplete in this summary, limiting detailed billing guidance at this time.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must obtain the complete policy document from Humana (source: https://dctm.humana.com/Mentor/Web/v.aspx?objectID=090009298a584603) to identify specific HCPCS codes for neurostimulator devices, coverage criteria, and any prior authorization requirements. Do not bill neurostimulator claims under Kentucky Medicaid until the full policy details are reviewed and entered into the billing system. Affected providers (neurology, pain management, neurosurgery) should be notified of the new coverage policy and any documentation requirements.
